"A group of billionaire philanthropists are to donate tens of millions more dollars to develop progressive political ideas in the US in an effort to counter the conservative ascendancy. " One of Soros' programs is drug legalization. His hope is to alter our society while at the same time making billions marketing drugs to the masses.

Soros, Sperling and Lewis.

I'm sure glad McCain got all that soft money out of politics. I don't know where we'd be without him!

Their activities worked in the Ukraine and they are trying to get them to work in Belarus too.

Granted the leaders in Ukraine and Belarus were not perfect... far from it... but, what gives soros and his left-wing buddies the right to influence countries in which they do NOT reside.

And, further.... THEY HATE PRESIDENT BUSH just like they hated the leaders of Ukraine and Belarus.

I think if Soros is your enemy, you cannot be ALL bad. Because soros must be a shill for the devil if he worked against George Bush's re-election and likes/wants hillery clinton and billy boy to be in power.

Although not mentioned, Lewis (Apollo Group (University of Phoenix) is probably not far away.

I was with Geico for years...Allstate was cheaper. Check it out...(and I have NOTHING to do financially with Allstate).

It didn't help though, Kerry still didn't get into the White House.

His influence, and that of the New York Times/Boston Globe owners, (affiliated with him, and very rich in their own rite) are almost personally responsible for getting same sex marriage enacted in MA. They pour millions into the state for just that reason. Even set up one of the Judges for the judgeship, years beforehand, for the purpose of doing just that.

George Soros is going to die a pennyless man if he plans on investing in the intellectual future of the left.

Acutally, he doesn't bet on their being smart, he bets on their being dumb and allowing him to manipulate them after he gets them in power. He knows that he can not manipulate Bush & Co.

Wasn't Engels of Marx and Engels fame... a very rich British businessman who supported Marx's Communist activities?

[Tempest]

AHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! Soros uses the term Neo-con in order to try to stereotype and pigeon-hold conservatives into some easy to demagogue model.

It's such a pathetic irony that a group of rich prviliged individuals, would try to oppress hard working middle Americans into "progressive thinking".

[Lion in Winter]

I read in a tabloid while sitting in my lark-cart in line at the checkout( shame on me) that Jonathan Soros is gay or bi.

"A group of billionaire philanthropists"

Moral of the story

If you're a rich lefty trying to indoctrinate people, you're a charitable "philanthropists".

And if your a rich conservative, you're an evil lobbyist trying to buy the vote....

[Tempest]

Geico is no better since it is owned by Warren Buffet.

Go with AAA or Century.

[Tempest]

Or state Farm.

True, except I reject the word Bi-sexual. As far as I am concerned that is just a term used for someone who doesn't differentiate between sexes. Or probably between species either, for that matter. Just a complete an utter obsessed with any kind of sex, pervert.

[Lion in Winter]

Brillant observation. I think you are on to something there.

[dfwright]

Can someone please define what a "ceo-con" is?

That would be someone like Ken Lay.

[ssaftler]

Oh, I don't know. The Conservative billionaires do real work with their money, but don't hold news conferences.

[gidget7]

charitable "philanthropists".

Oxi Moron if i ever heard one. Philanderer/Philanthropist

[Lion in Winter]

A very wealty and priviledged man, obsessed with pervert sex willing to take over countries for his financial gain, hates conservative Christians..... why, that sounds like CALIGULA of the old Roman empire.

[gidget7]

Oh, I don't know. The Conservative billionaires do real work with their money, but don't hold news conferences.



I sure hope your right. These tawdry philanderers need to be stopped.
